In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God.
When that time comes, God says, the people of Israel and Judah will finally come together. They'll be walking and crying as they go, desperately searching for the Lord their God.
Sometimes you have to walk through tears to find your way back to God.
📚 Historical Context
